Open Protocol Connectivity
Investment managers run diverse technology stacks: execution management systems, prime broker feeds, fund admin platforms, and proprietary databases. 3forge's open protocol architecture connects to all of them without requiring rip-and-replace infrastructure changes.
The Challenge
Integration Complexity Delays Every New Data Source
Each new data source requires custom connectors, format normalization, and latency tuning. Without a unified integration layer, adding a new prime broker feed or analytics source becomes a months-long engineering project.
Fragmented data protocols
Market data arrives via FIX, fund admin via SFTP or API, risk engines via proprietary socket connections, each requiring custom integration code.
High integration maintenance cost
Custom connectors break when upstream systems change versions or APIs, requiring constant engineering attention to keep data flowing.
Vendor lock-in
Tight coupling to a single data vendor or EMS makes switching or adding a parallel source expensive and risky.
Latency from conversion overhead
Converting between wire formats, normalizing schemas, and buffering for batch delivery introduces latency that undermines real-time use cases.
The 3forge Approach
A Universal Connectivity Layer for Any Data Source
3forge ships with 100+ pre-built connectors covering every major market data vendor, fund admin system, and execution platform. AMI Workers normalize all incoming data into a unified in-memory model, eliminating per-source integration work for every new application you build.
Key Capabilities
What You Can Build with 3forge
100+ Pre-Built Connectors
FIX, REST, WebSocket, JDBC, ODBC, Kafka, Bloomberg, Reuters, and more, ready to configure without custom development.
Protocol Normalization
All incoming data streams are normalized into a unified AMI schema, so downstream applications never need to handle wire format differences.
Custom Adapter SDK
Build proprietary connectors using the AMI Adapter SDK when pre-built options don't cover an in-house system.
Connection Health Monitoring
Live dashboards show connection state, message throughput, and latency for every active data source.
Zero-Copy Data Path
AMI Workers process incoming data in-memory without serialization overhead, minimizing latency from source to application.
Multi-Source Join Queries
Combine data from any combination of connected sources in a single AMIScript query, with server-side aggregation.
